Thanksgiving Cupcake Wrap Up

by Sprinkles on November 27, 2010

With Thanksgiving over for another year, no doubt you are still clearing away the crumbs and returning the house to its normal configuration, so in the spirit of reflection I thought I would share some of my favorite cupcakes from this year!

The first is this set of seven different cupcakes.  These are Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes with Whipped Orange Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Icing, which Zoe from Cakes by Zobot has then decorated with carefully created Thanksgiving fondant designs such as the turkey leg, Pilgrim hat, acorns, corn on the cob, pumpkin and autumn flowers.

This next cupcake is simply amazing and was created by Bittle.  It is a cinnamon pumpkin cupcake frosted with caramel cream cheese frosting, dusted and then decorated with stunning fondant acorns and autumn leaves.  This is a gorgeous idea!

Below, I have a turkey cupcake, because, you know it really isn’t Thanksgiving unless there is a turkey somewhere!  This design is, well what can I say, amazing.  The turkey is just brilliant and I love how he is wearing a Pilgrim hat, too cute!  These cakes were created by the clever Kati’s Kupcakes.

Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Two great Thanksgiving Cupcakes

by Sprinkles on November 24, 2010

With Thanksgiving tomorrow..

I cannot think of an ingredient we could do without less than potatoes!  From white potatoes, to the many different varieties of sweet potato, there are so many options and flavors that can be created using potatoes.

They are versatile from providing a mash with your steak, to a thickener to soup, it is only natural that we use them in our cupcakes too.  Especially as they can prove to be a fantastic natural food colorant in shades of orange and purple!

1. Sweet Potato Cupcakes

My first cupcakes are sweet potato cupcakes with a cinnamon butter cream frosting.  These cupcakes created by ‘From Apples to Zucchini’ are moist and scrumptious using sweet mashed potato and they look divine as well!

2. Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow Frosting

These cupcakes are from Annie’s Eats and are deliciously topped with amazingly perfect brown marshmallow topping.  They look just too good!  These cupcakes also use a mashed and blended sweet potato puree so should be wonderfully moist.
